Ohm64

After about a year in development we are pleased to announce the Ohm64, and adaptable, programmable MIDI control surface. This is an evolution from our first Ohm and was redesigned from the ground up.

This controller is class-complaint so there are no drivers. It is also completely bus powered so only a single USB cable is needed. The bi-directional communication allows you to control the LEDs on the clip bank to do a number of things. Here is a demo of it being used with Ableton Live.

We are proud to say we manufacture and assemble everything in house, including the circuit boards, wood bodies, and metal faceplates. Everything from the rubber pads to the sliders and knobs were custom designed in house by us.

New Pick and Place Machine

We recently added a new pick and place machine to our shop. Here are some images of the machine at work. 

This new machine allows us to completely automate the assembly of printed circuit boards on demand. We can assemble boards at a rate of 5000 parts per hour. The machine has three cameras that control the placement and check the position of the parts to ensure proper placement. We are in the process of building a completely automated assembly line to automate the process of placing and removing boards for assembly. If you have never seen a pick and place machine at work it is awesome how precise the machine places the tinniest components. 

The new machine is also made in the USA, making our made in the USA products made with a machine made in the USA.   This helps us in our effort to support local companies and bring manufacturing closer to home.
